He plays Outcasts and Mollys, among others. I think that was a joke based on that.
Anyway, I don't think more rules are really needed, and as has been said, a tag - even unofficial - is often easier to remember than a character name. To pull up a slightly outdated example, which would you remember more easily - [SL-M]Ayumu.Ishida or just plaing Ayumu.Ishida? Maybe you'll get the name wrong either way, but the tag will probably stick out enough.

Official factions at least react to constructive criticism, and lord knows official ones can't get away with the things the unofficial ones do.
Hooray for generalizations! Yeah, a lot of them are like that, but this is like me saying that the Liberty Navy is just a bunch of capwhores - sure, it's true of a few individual independents, but many people in that role, both indie and faction, fly fighters and bombers or use their capitals responsibly.
What you just said is the same line of thinking that leads to people calling Bounty Hunters a bunch of cap-abusing PVP whores, or at least did so back in 4.84 - holding the sins of individuals against the entire group. We're better than that around here, aren't we?
